Summary

Woodlawn Middle is a public middle school located in Mebane, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 739 students. The school is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, which is ranked 193 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodlawn Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading were significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school has a low statewide ranking, typically falling in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 1 to 4 stars over the years, with the most recent rating being 1 star. Woodlawn Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking particularly low for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While Woodlawn Middle's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Western Alamance Middle and Southern Alamance Middle schools within the Alamance-Burlington district, it performs better than some schools in the neighboring Orange County district, such as Graham Middle and Broadview Middle. The school's ranking and academic proficiency rates have declined over the years, and the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
